Join our charity shop team

Following recent appeals to help raise vital funds that would allow us to continue our work rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming neglected animals, several in the animal charity, and wider, community suggested a charity shop as a cost efficient way of raising much needed funds.

Having followed up on this concept and consulted with other charities we are now in the process of looking to make this happen. It is likely that the shop will be in the Skelmersdale /  Ormskirk / Wigan area. To that end we are looking to recruit a team of volunteers to help with day to day operations at our new venture.

Volunteering at our shop will be a new and rewarding way to support our animal welfare efforts. Whether you have previous retail experience, are passionate about animal welfare, or both and want to support a worthy cause then get applying today.

We have roles for a shop manager, assistant manager, shop assistants, and drivers:


By getting involved you can help to:

  • Make a direct impact on animal welfare
  • Support a worthy cause in your community
  • Gain retail and customer service experience
  • Meet like-minded animal lovers


Typical volunteer tasks may include (depending on the role):

  • Sorting and pricing donated items
  • Operating the cash register
  • Arranging displays and merchandising
  • Providing customer service
  • Light cleaning and organizing
  • Driving for collection and deliveries.


By volunteering at our shop you get the chance to:

  • Develop new skills in retail and teamwork
  • Build your resume and gain work experience
  • Enjoy a fun, social environment
  • Feel good about contributing to animal care

Through volunteering at our charity shop, you'll play a new and vital role in raising funds for our animal sanctuary. Your time and effort directly translate into better care for rescued animals.

We expect for things to move quite quickly and would be looking for a team to be available as of early September.

Does this sound good to you? Join our compassionate team of volunteers today and make a difference in the lives of animals in need!
